Phegley suffers setback with right knee

ST. LOUIS — A’s catcher Josh Phegley has suffered a setback with his surgically-repaired right knee, precluding him from beginning a scheduled Minor League rehab assignment Saturday.

Phegley was expected to join Triple-A Nashville this weekend for a start at designated hitter, but his knee “blew up a little on him,” according to A’s manager Bob Melvin, and he’s dealing with swelling.
